About this book

This detailed military history recounts the pivotal 1776 campaign around New York and Brooklyn during the American Revolution, the disastrous Battle of Long Island, Washington's daring nighttime retreat across the East River, and the loss of the city to the British. Drawing on documents and firsthand accounts, Johnston reconstructs the strategy, terrain, and desperate stakes of a campaign that nearly ended the Revolution at its outset. Careful and vivid, it illuminates one of the war's most critical early chapters. For students of the Revolution and military history, The Campaign of 1776 offers an authoritative and gripping account of a turning point in the birth of the United States.

Available edition: text of Project Gutenberg eBook #21990. The PDF has 499 pages; the EPUB is reflowable.
